Story OF valuable Specimen In the Min
eraioglcal Cabinet OF Austria.
Herr Julius Fischhof, leading men,
ber of the Vienna Stock Exchange,
known for his philanthropy, who re-
Gently died, prided himself on the pos
session of diamond breastpin which
was given to him by the Emperor Fran
els Joseph for the following reason:
More than twenty years ago Herr Fisch-
hof befriended a poor young student
who, unable to earn a living in Vienna,
finally emigrated to California through
Herr Fischhof's assistance. The latter
had long forgotten his protege, when
suddenly he received from an American
who visited Vienna II large nugget Of
gold which the former student and now
rich merchant of California had sent 10
his benofactor. The director of the linz
perial Mineralogical Cabinet of Vienna,
who heard of the affair, offered Herr
Fischhof large amount for the mug
get, which weighed twelve pounds and
was considered one Of the most valua-
BILE in exis ence, but he declined tho
Offer remarking, however, that no
would gladly present it TO the cabinet
IL the Emperor would consent to accept
It. His donation was graciously ac-
cepted and the Emperor presented him
In turn with a precious diamond pin.
The nugget remains one Of the most in-
teresting curiosities Of the imperial col.
lection. IN. Y. Post.

A Gentleman Describes the Sensations He
Felt While Enduring 1t.
A well-known gentleman who lives
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel came into
tho corridor from the street recently,
looking as il he had been scourged for
week. He sat down, took long
breath. and lighting long cigar be-
gan to puff vigorously. A reporter
asked him il he was i'll. He replied;
"lllP No, have just taken dirt
bath. Don't know what dirt bath is'
Then I'll tell you. / concluded that
my system had run down and that i
needed something to start my blood to
circulating rapidly, in fact a general
vitalizer. / was directed to take mud
baths. These baths are very expen-
sive. The attendant stood me up and
began to cover me with what is known
as Fuller's earth. / was encased in
this substance with only my head stick
ing out. Then was placed in trough,
= tube was inserted into the mud and
an electric current turned on. The
sensation was most unique and al
most indescribable. The earth around
my body soon became charged with
electricity aud snapped and coquetted
with my skin in amost tantalizing way.
At times there would seem to be race
of small taeks down my back, and then
the sensation of u brush gently passing
over me. My flesh simply acted as a
conductor and enjoyed all the little
pranks that q series of currents from a
powerful electric battery can produce.
After an hour l was stripped of tho
mud and 'massaged' for an hour by two
stalwart attendants. A doucbe of water
was then administered, and ! went
home. But the bath can not be finished
in one day. / went back the next morn
ing and was given cold water bath
and rubbed again very thoroughly.
Then my feet were placed in water
charged with electricity. The attend
ants then seized several largo sponges,
dipped them in the water and began to
rub me. 1t was an electric bath, and
the sponges fairly made me howl with
the shocks received. The next day l
went back and finished the bath. was
placed in vat Of large-grained salt
and rolled about until my flesh glowcd |
with irritating excitement. A rub
down and water bath then finished my
mud bath. 1t takes only three days
wanted to perspire, and | succeeded.
Sometimes l dream am closed up in
an armor of mud and the perspiration
comes from me in copious streams. If
a man has three solid days to spare, l
think nothing is more pleasant all
around than to take frst-class mud
bath. IN Y Mail and Express.

A Shv Mans Misdemeanors.

There is a species of man again who
is silent only because he is shy, who
sits because he fears the exact moment
when he will have to get up and 90
away, and because he can best intro
duce his desire to depart. For this
person one can not help feeling sim
cere and profound commiseration. 1t
is he who trips over the trains of lad es
gowns. drops his stick with crash on
the parquet floor in the middle of Sig
nora Voccali's best song, who upsets
the tea he is handling into the ladies'
laps, treads on the poodle's tail and
sweeps a whole Logon of china and
silver knick-knacks into the fender
when he unluckily leans against the
mantel-piece-to this individual Ian
guage becomes painful impossibility
and the power of speech seems to have
been providentially denied, and he is
no doubt aware of the fact that If he
attempts to talk he will put his foot
into it, in fgurative sense, as com.
pletely as he is perpetually tramping il
into the literal objects of still life
around him. London Society.
